The Muar State Railway was a railroad operating in the district of Muar in Johor, Malaya (now Malaysia) [1]. It was the second railway line to operate in Malaya[2]. The railway was built for the people of Muar and was a light railway[3]. The Muar railway had a distance of about 14 miles and had five permanent stations and eight temporary stations[1:1]. In its first years of operation, the Muar State Railway was estimated to own three steam locomotives[1:2]. The first two locomotives were ordered from Black, Hawthorn & Co bearing works numbers 962 and 963, while the third Black, Hawthorn & Co locomotive bearing works number 1017 was ordered later on July 5, 1890[1:3]. During World War I, new locomotives from the United States were procured[1:4]. The railway opened in 1890 and ceased operation in 1929[1:5]. Today, Muar has no railway[1:6]. In 2017, construction workers uncovered pieces of wood believed to be part of the Muar State Railway line buried along the construction site[4].
